After carefully sanding away the finish around the damage, the dents were steamed to swell the wood grain and bring it as close as possible to the natural thickness. Then fine sanding again, and scraping to seal the grain. Finally we were able to replace the water based urethane finish and color as required.

The repaired chairs were virtually indistinguishable from any undamaged chair.
